Yes, if I remember correctly. However, that was April(?). Actually, I would like to
see the documentation for installing and the actual install process tightened up a bit
for those of us who are newer to Linux and would rather be doing other things than
installing software. Next time I install Debian, I will try to document more the
loopholes, tarpits, and monsters I find. I am just setting up a network and then I
will finally have internet access for this computer. Any other questions?
